Note: RT and Sputnik are among the worst of the worst, often depending on fake reports from clownish SOHR themselves, blended in with their Netanyahu and Trump ass-kissing…perhaps next time the Russian military gets upset about this, they will look closer to home to fix the problem.

RT: Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports of Russian airstrikes on two villages in Idlib province has nothing to do with reality, the Russian military said, adding that none of its planes operated in that area on Monday.

“The information provided by the British NGO is a deliberate hoax,” Rear Admiral Oleg Zhuravlev, head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation in Syria, said at a briefing.

Earlier in the day, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed that an airstrike by Russian and Syrian forces on the villages of Kansafra and Al-Bara in Idlib led to the “killing and injuring of nearly ten Turkish soldiers.”



The SOHR claim came at a moment when Russia and Turkey stand on the brink of war over Syria. Ankara sent troops to Idlib – the last remaining terrorist stronghold in Syria – two weeks ago, provoking deadly clashes with the advancing Syrian army. Turkey has demanded Russia to pressure its allies in Damascus into ceasing its operations in the area, while Moscow blamed Ankara of not fulfilling it earlier promise to separate the “moderate” rebels from terrorists. Ankara has not reported any casualties among its troops in Syria, however.

Last Thursday, Russian bombers struck militants who had launched an attack on Syrian positions with the support of Turkish artillery. However, both Russia and Turkey said they weren’t looking for a military conflict. A new round of consultation between the sides is being prepared in order to defuse the situation in Idlib, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced on Monday.

SOHR has been one of the key sources of Western media since the conflict in Syria broke out in 2011. However, a 2015 investigation revealed that the entire organization was run by a single man in Coventry, a former convict who fled Syria for the UK and has not been there since

  1. I have on more than one occasion read articles on VT which quotes this SOHR with a straight face. Make up your mind(s) guys.

  2. I enjoyed RT’s show “watching the hawks”. SOHR is part of British counterintelligence, which is still the most powerful foreign agent in the western world, and few levels above average thinking man.

  3. RT plays a fine line they have to kiss ass to the devil at times to stay on air .They hire whores like the MSM as well not all though. All depends what time of day one watches it
